Fisheries acoustics includes a range of research and practical application topics using acoustical devices as sensors in aquatic environments. Acoustical techniques can be applied to sensing aquatic animals , zooplankton , and physical and biological habitat characteristics.
Acoustic survey in fishing is one of the research methods that can detect the abundance of target species using acoustic detectors. For example, many pelagic fisheries are generally very scattered over a broad ocean and difficult to detect. Hence survey vessel with acoustic detector emits sound waves to estimate the density of plankton and fish ...
Acoustic tags are small sound-emitting devices that allow the detection and/or remote tracking of organisms in aquatic ecosystems. Acoustic tags are commonly used to monitor the behavior of fish. Studies can be conducted in lakes, rivers, tributaries, estuaries or at sea.
The devices have also been employed to keep marine mammals away from fishing nets. [2] The devices are known as acoustic harassment devices (AHDs) and acoustic deterrent devices, which are smaller AHDs [3] or intended as an awareness tool to warn species to the presence of danger rather than as a tool of harassment at a much louder level.

AAC Technologies designs, develops and manufactures a broad range of miniaturized components that include speakers, receivers and microphones in the acoustic segment. It produces these components for mobile devices such as smartphones , tablets , wearables , ultrabooks , notebooks and e-readers .
Acoustical engineering (also known as acoustic engineering) is the branch of engineering dealing with sound and vibration. It includes the application of acoustics , the science of sound and vibration, in technology.
A hydrophone (Ancient Greek: ὕδωρ + φωνή, lit. 'water + sound') is a microphone designed for underwater use, for recording or listening to underwater sound. Most hydrophones contains a piezoelectric transducer that generates an electric potential when subjected to a pressure change, such as a sound wave.
Fish aggregating devices have been traditionally used for centuries by fishermen in Island Southeast Asia, Japan, and Malta. [1] They are most widespread in the Philippines where traditional FADs are known as payao. Payao are semi-permanent bamboo rafts anchored to the seafloor with rocks. They are usually placed in very deep water, but coastal ...
